it relaxes me….i tried making a mint julep with diet lemon lime soda (yeah, some knock off on sprite, I’m sure). didn’t like it too much.
so….for my mint julep…..i did:
jim bean’s
water
fresh mint
lot’s of sugar
and muddled it all up….
it got me nice and relaxed – so i can tell you about the next part of my life.
in addition to mixing drinks, I adore cooking….lately, most of my recipes come from ediets – because I’m still trying to loose weight. I guess all the empty calores I’m getting from drinking, isn’t helping. c’est la vie. i know my goals, but i also enjoy doing what i do. i enjoy pleasure. i also enjoy movies. adore them. i don’t own a dvd (gasp – in this day and age! i know) but i do have a vcr and i have a mess load of vhs tapes. i’m a sucker for classical films. Casablanca is my favorite movie of all time. Why? Because Rick Blaine and Ilsa prove that love can bring miracles – even in the darkest hour of war. Action, romance, thrilling highs and heart wrenching lows….that’s why I adore this movie. I’ll probably put more on it at Bon Vivant…in a bit. My current favorite is Kissing Jessica Stein.
i am also a pretty die-hard star trek fan. my buddy from Rosary – she got me hooked on Next Generation.
She use to write fan fiction that would hook up Crusher with Picard. They totally want each other. She also tried to get me hooked on Country Music. That effort failed miserably.
Mark and I ended up at a Star Trek Convention in San Jose, a year ago. It was cool! I got to see Dr. Beverly Crusher….and some of the chicks from the Old Generation. Plus I added a few more action figures to my collection. I have Crusher and Troi in holodeck costume, now. Is that geeky?
Let’s see….what else am I into? I do Hankido at Cal. I’m up to brown belt now. I took some time off because of some serious trauma at the gym. Still haven’t gotten over it.
At Cal, I majored in American Studies. I chose it, partly because it had a nice “choose-your-own-classes” nature of it. I also welcomed the opperutnity to do a thesis on my family. My focus was on the the Philippino Experience during World War II – and the reflections made by American scholars and filmmakers. I interviewed my Aunt and Uncle, who were in elementary school when the Japanese took over the islands.
um….not sure what else to say….maybe another time.
